# On the Restoration of Nationalized Cooperatives

3) what to compromise on? not on principle,

# NOTES

¹ At a meeting of party workers, Lenin delivered a report on petty-bourgeois parties. The surviving notes of Lenin represent a record of what appear to be the most essential points from the speeches of the orators and a draft plan of concluding remarks. No stenographic record of the discussion has been preserved. The stenographic record of the concluding remarks was published in *Works*, vol. XXIII, pp. 324—330. For more detail on this meeting, see *Works*, vol. XXIII, pp. 307—330 and note 81, p. 573.

² K. G. Maksimov—in 1918, head of the Food Department of the Moscow Soviet.

³ L. M. Khinchuk—chairman of the Central Control Commission.

⁴ Yu. M. Steklov—in 1918, editor of *Izvestiya VTsIK*.
